George Vineyard. of Ben Smiths district,
| Gwinnett county, runs saw mill. One day
last week he had some business in town, and
left the mill in charge Of his son and young
man named Mcmillan. While they were
| at work something connected with the car
riage got out of order and young Vineyard
attempted to fix it while the carriage was
| running He took a crowbar to prize the
carriage back and it slipped and he fell
| across the carriage in front of the saw. Be
| fore it could be stopped the saw struck his
| arm and cut the large bone, between the ell
| bow and wrist, in two, managing the flesh
| badly. He is young man of good nerve,
and as he got up he grasped his arm with
| his hand below the wound, and Mr. McMll-
| lian took hold above to prevent his bleeding
to death. In this way they walked quar-
ter of a mile to the house. The physicians
think that probably his arm can be saved,
if it de N as well as they expect.

of the coored peoples church, and at the
close of the sermon mourners were invited
to the altar. Among those who responded

Some time ago Judge James S. Hook, of
Augusta, had an interview with Gov. Cor
don in regard to the executive order some
time ago issued, prohibiting Bondurant &
Joplin from having any further manage
ment or control over the convicts on the
Augusta and Chattanooga railroad. 1t was
rumored that Judge Hook was before the
Governor in the interest of Bondurant, who
desired to obtain modification of the order,
so that the sting and unpleasantness result
ing from such an order might be in a
measure removed. The Governor gave a
careful attention to the attorney Of Bondu-
rant, and agreed to lay the matter before
the principal keeper and physician of the
penitentiary, upon whose reports the order
was originally based. Thursday the two
officials filed with the Governor their opin-
ions in the matter. What recommenda-
lions they made are not known, nor is 1t
known what action the Governor will take.
1t will be several days before the matter
will be given to the public.
Jimmy Boon, the 14-year-old son of B. F.
Boon, OF Hawkinsville went out into the
woods with his gun to hunt squirrels on
Monday morning. The little fellow soon
found a squirrel in a tree, and began walk
ing backward to get good shot. He was
so excited that he never looked behind him,
and he walked backward into well 60 feet
deep. There were some brush and pieces of
wood in tine well, and the little fellow kept
above the water, while his gun went to the
bottom. He shouted until his voice
was nearly gone. Fortunately a man
and his little son passing that way heard the
voice of some one, and after looking around
for awhile they found the well and saw the
little boy bravely holding to the pieces of
wood. More help was soon obtained, and q
rope was let down and Jimmy tied himself
around the waist. He was drawn up about
half way when the rope slipped and he fell
back to the bottom, bruising himself and
spraining his ankles. He again fastened the
rope around his body, and this time he was
brought safely above the earth.
James Terrell, the skeleton, whose life
was prolonged by the use of dynamite, was
buried in the paupers ground at Atlanta
ing considerable attention. Several months
ago he came to Atlanta from North Geor-
gia for treatment. He was suffering with
cancer of the stomach and secured admis-
sion to the Ivy Street Hospital The dis
ease had long been working upon him, and
the physicians at the hospital found it inn
possible to do anything for him. He con-
tinued to grow worse and few weeks ago
was transferred to the benevolent home.
Dr. Van Goidtsnovan, the city ply.
| stefan, assumed charge of the case
and soon became convinced that the
man could not live Several DAYS ago
Terrell's system refused all food, and he was
staring starvation in the face with plenty OF
food about him. DR.. Van Goidtsnovan then
decided to prolong the mans life by using
| dynamite The explosive was handled in
very small pellets. and one of these was dis.
solved in water, and every three hours a
drop or two of the solution was placed upon
the mans tongue. The effect Of the dyna
mite was apparent instantly. The mans
| eyes and face appeared TO take on new life
| and until the influence was diminished his
breathing was good. Terrell was once q
stout, heavy man, but at the time of his
death he was nothing but skin and bones.
